So there I was, ready to spend the entire day doing the Halloween event in City Of Heroes and then I get @littlebushbaby to finally stop using Internet Explorer and install Firefox.
45 minutes later and the two of us are browsing through the Firefox Personas and she's picking ones to use at Xmas this year!!!
It's so easy to get sidetracked when you set out to do something. It happens all the time. You think I'll go and do that and then suddenly something happens which makes you lose track of what you were doing (or attempting to do) and suddenly it's 3 hours later and you're nowhere near anything you remember doing.
Why are we like this? The minute we set our minds to perform a task, it's like a whole host of shiny things suddenly crop up. I get so involved in writing for the first day... and then I find it so hard to get back into it - I've got a game to play or a book to read or a movie to watch or I have some where to go.
Heck, I just stopped typing this up for 10 minutes whilst I rearranged where my searchbox is in my browser!
Fickle we might be in our tastes and choices, but it's our actions which get influenced by random choices too. It's almost a wonder that we ever get anything finished.
Still, I'd much rather experience much of everything than everything of one thing.
